Lionel Messi is taking Florida by storm, but it’s his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, who has everyone’s attention.
The model stole the spotlight Tuesday night at DRV PNK Stadium, where she was featured on the broadcast during Inter Miami CF’s 4-0 win over Atlanta United.
Roccuzzo, who tied the knot with Messi in 2017, was captured on camera celebrating one of the Argentinian superstar’s two goals in the victory that propelled Miami to the Leagues Cup knockout round.
The 35-year-old brunette beauty was cheering for Messi and pumping her arms in the air while waving a pink flag, signifying Miami’s team colors.
Messi, 36, put on a show in his second outing with his new stateside team.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner notched two goals in 22 minutes and added an assist on a Robert Taylor score.
Taylor, who finished with two goals, praised Messi during a postgame interview on Apple TV.
“He’s the best player in the world. This is what he does,” Taylor said. “It’s a dream come true to play with him.”
Messi’s first start for Miami on Tuesday came after he scored the winning goal in his debut with the team — a 2-1 win over Mexican side Cruz Azul in front of a sold-out home crowd Friday.
He scored on a stoppage-time free-kick after coming off the bench.
Messi now has three goals, two assists, and a 2-0 record with Inter Miami CF. The 36-year-old pro has added star power to the team, and he and his wife have received a warm welcome from fans.
Roccuzzo and the couple’s three sons — Thiago (born in 2012), Mateo (born in 2015) and Ciro (born in 2018) — were present during Messi’s unveiling at Inter Miami on July 16, where a sold-out crowd gathered at DRV PNK Stadium for the rainy celebration.
Inter Miami returns to action Aug. 2 in the Round of 32 of Leagues Cup, where the team will face the winner of South Group 2.
